Turn it Around !

Good Morning Most Wonderful, Awesome, Fantabulous Educators and Friends! I just wanted to remind myself and everybody else, that our point of power is always in the present moment. That means just stop, think, and breathe and take notice of what’s going through your mind. Then whatever it is, we should realize that it’s creating our future. I always ask myself, “Do I want this thought creating my future?” If it’s a good thought, I say yes and let that thought make me feel good.(Basking in the sun!) If the answer is no, I try to figure what kind of thought it is, then I ask “why am I having this thought”. Sometimes it’s a thought that can pass without acknowledging it. On the other hand, it may be a thought that I need to turn around.

This may seem harsh, but we do have to remember that if we are upset or sad, it’s our own doing and not anyone else’s. Problems always stem from within and not without. That’s why we need to spend a great deal of time in the classroom of our mind! Every outer experience is an  inner opportunity to learn and grow! I said all of this just to say that the life we have right now is a residual of our past inner thoughts. It’s easy to turn things around just by changing your thoughts! Forget about what happened in the past and enjoy your present moments and allow these joyful thoughts to create your wonderful future!

What’s Wrong With You Wednesday

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful Educators and Friends! This week is coming swiftly to a close. It’s Wednesday already. I’m not sure but it seems like I have been really emotional the past few days. I was in the uber office yesterday and this lady just kept talking and talking. That really got on my nerves. I mean so much that I started getting angry. She wasn’t even talking to me, nor did she prevent the person I walked in with from being waited on. But there I was, feeling angry for no apparent reason. I had to sit quiet, close my eyes, stop, think, and breathe. I had to go deep within to the classroom of my mind to realize why I was going against everything I believe. I then searched for the best feeling thought that I could find. “All is well and I am safe!” As I sat there I realized that there are a great deal of changes happening in my life and it feels like I’m all over the place. I know the path I want but at the same time, I know the safe path as well. Then I remembered that Abraham always says that we should try to flow downstream and not try to force a path. The universe will make the way easy  and all we have to do is move in the direction of what feels good.

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I am so excited about the way my life is moving! I deserve the best and I accept the best now! I am planting the right seeds in my mind and they are starting to grow! I love myself! I approve of myself! I am totally grateful to all that I have! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Making Monday Magnificent!

Good Morning Most Awesome, Wonderful, and Amazing Educators and Friends! Today is an Amazing day only if you choose to make it an Amazing Day! Isn’t so wonderful that we get to choose! We get to choose whether we are going to be happy or be miserable. I make this choice everyday. Sometimes I make a happy choice in the beginning of the day and right in the middle of that day my mind slips into another mode and I’m walking around like a zombie. I am so grateful to have coworkers who will stop me and say, “Demby fix your face! You gotta stay positive!” This allows me to Stop, Think, and Breathe then make the choice to be happy again! I always think of the song from Bobby McFerrin, “DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY!”

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I choose to be happy! I love myself! Everything is Awesome! I look forward to what each new hour brings! My income is constantly increasing! My Joy, Peace, and Love are constantly increasing! My relationships are wonderful! I am loving and lovable! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL!

Faith

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful Educators and Friends!!!! In almost any religion, you are required to have faith. What exactly is having faith? Is it believing that there is some power greater than you, that works on your behalf? Is it believing that there someone or something bigger than you that leads, guides and corrects you? I say, whatever faith is is; your thoughts are needed to have it. Faith = Imagination and without it, it’s impossible to please God says the bible.Whoever my mind says that God is, that’s who he’ll be. I was just thinking and reading through various religious books. Some writers say, “He’s a vengeful, jealous God” while others say, “God is Love. He’s our Father or Mother” yet others have even called him “Friend”. It’s all in how you imagine him to be. #Faith  I choose to let go of my Sunday school version of God. Now don’t get me wrong those stories were great for learning how powerful God is, but they don’t  create a great life for the people who still view God that way. Just think in the story of Noah, it’s says that God was sorry that he made man and decided to destroy him. Just imagine the adult that is walking around believing that if they make one mistake, God is coming to destroy them? It’s really people out there like that. I know, because I was one of them. And then I heard Louise Hay say that, “even your view of God should be for you and not against you”. Whoa! Hold the phone! I could actually choose who God is to me? Just imagine all the years I prayed to a vengeful, sarcastic person who would destroy me or kill people in my life just to teach me a lesson. This did not increase my faith one bit. I think this might be why there is a great falling away from church amongst other things?

I now have totally different view of God!  We are his creations, whom he loves very much! He has allowed us to be creators just like him. Whatever we decide to believe and speak, he sets the universe in motion to bring it to pass. Just have FAITH!

We are made in the image of God. So our view of God is really a view of ourself. Just have FAITH!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I Love and Approve of Myself! I know that God is for me and he moves heaven and earth on my behalf! God is Love! I am in him and he is in me!

Your Thoughts Will Never Fail You!

Good Morning Most Wonderful Fantabulous Educators and Friends! We are getting powerful close to the end of the school year! Just want to remind you that it is your thoughts that create much of what happens in your classroom! When your mind clear and free of clutter, it passes right down to the students! When you expect to have a peaceful relaxing day, the children will come in peaceful and relaxed. Or if they come in stirring up trouble, they will become peaceful and relaxed after being in your presence. If you don’t allow their behavior to take you out of the relaxed space. Since we get what we think about, we should all consider making our thoughts our best friends! Why waste time thinking about how wrong your day will be, when you can create a wonderful day? thoughts-page-001

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I Choose to move forward with Joy! All my changes are positive! I Love and approve of myself. I release the need to try and control everything and everyone. I trust the process of life! Life is Great! My thoughts are my best friends! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM!

Watch It Wednesday!

Good Morning most Awesome Wonderful Educators and Friends!!!!!! I believe Frank Outlaw penned a little saying that says, Watch you thoughts (Thoughts that teachers are respected and appreciated or teachers are used and underpaid), They become words (“I love teaching! I enjoy coming to work!” or “I’m tired of this job. These children are horrible”)

Watch your words (“Everybody is always helpful. I am supported well.” or “These parents don’t do anything, uugghhh! Our administration doesn’t support us”), They become actions (loving the children and teaching with joy, or spreading sarcasm and being angry all the time)

Watch your actions (having high standards and expectations and giving extra help to students who need it or passing kids along just to get rid of them) They become habits (Staying late working to make sure that your class can handle various learning styles, or just printing worksheets and lecturing the whole time)

Watch your habits (using your own money to purchase things for your class, or stealing from other teachers who may have laid items down in the lounge) They become character (Are you a good teacher or  Are you a Bad teacher?)

Watch your character, It becomes your destiny! 

Since education feeds every facet of the world’s systems it makes me wonder. . .  What our world would look like if our teachers were more positive and upbeat? Then I am thankful that the point of power is always in the present moment! We can change the world and it only starts with a thought. So watch it!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I love teaching! I love my students and they love me! I take great joy in coming to work! I am molding the future of our planet! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

The Rhythm of Life

Good Morning Most Awesome Educators and Friends! It’s kind of tough to stay upbeat when you are surrounded by such negativity. That’s why it’s very important to continue to visit the classroom of your mind. When I’m sitting in a negative conversation or just listening to something negative, I go within and say, “That may be true for you but not for me!” Life already has ups and downs so it’s best to just focus on the ups of life!

Laura Sandage wrote in her song “When I started down the street last Sunday feeling mighty low and kind of mean Suddenly a voice said go forth neighbor spread the picture on a wider screen And the voice said neighbor there’s a million reasons why you should be glad in all four seasons Hit the road neighbor leave your worries and strife Spread the religion of the rhythm of life.”

That’s how I feel this morning! I want to spread the Rhythm of Life!  Rhythm has long and short notes. It also has silences. I used to have long period of sadness and anger with short burst of happiness. But once I learned to take advantage of the silences, I was able to flip it around! The ups and downs are choices like writing music on a page! So I now take a silent time of meditation and go within to choose happiness! “For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet rhythm on the inside rhythm on the street and the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!”

Daily Affirmations: Today is an amazing day! Great things are happening all around me everyday! I chose happiness! I Love my life! I release the need to try and control everything and everybody and I trust the process of life! I love myself! I approve of myself! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM!
